PVDFest transforms Providence into a multistage extravaganza, activating public spaces across the city with artists from around the world and around the corner to deliver an awe-inspiring experience.
After two years of pandemic interruption, the triumphant return of PVDFest in June 2022 brought 115,000 visitors into Downtown Providence to revel in over 200 local, regional and international artists across 9 stages, wares from over 150 artisan vendors, and culinary delights from 30 PVD Food Trucks. The festival brought an estimated $3 million in expenditures benefiting the economy of the City of Providence.
As Founding Partner for PVDFest, FirstWorks curates, produces, and delivers this multi-arts festival annually with the City of Providence since its start in 2015.
